The Tuesday Twitter Tale : Introductions

Tuesday 5 October 2010

‘And this is Ted. Been here years, can’t get rid of him!’ The boss’s usual joke. Ted grinned but, inside, added an item to a long list.






The Tuesday Twitter Tale is a weekly work of tweet-length fiction. It is posted here and on Twitter (along with the #vss - very short story - hash tag).

    Reminds me of "The Quiet Man" and the guy's book: I'm gonna write your name in my book. And put a line through it. Ha. That's what I think of you.

    Milo,

    Yes, I see that. Perhaps we all have lists like this?

    I must admit that I don't get twitter. Maybe if I didn't ignore it so much I would like it better.

    Talli,

    Thanks. It's easy! Just start writing and then stop at 140 characters ...

    Thanks N. R.

    There's no great mystery to Twitter - it's just blogging in tiny chunks as I see it.
